And thus ends my experiment with gemini on my phone. I was busy and told it to set an alarm for 530am. I wasnt paying attention, it looked it it did it's thing. Went to bed, woke up at 6 thinking I slept through my alarm. And just checked, gemini looks like it set an alarm, but instead it told me that alarm already exists (it did not).

@mainframed767 Even Android's basic assistant will lie about setting timers. I asked it once to set a timer for X minutes, and it verbally responded with "Setting a timer for X minutes, starting now", but no timer started. Ticks me off how even basic features are unreliable now.

@mainframed767 journalist: "AI may help people overcome sleep deprivation"

@mainframed767 I noticed my oldest Pixel in the house is offering Gemini "now free"

Weren't they gatekeeping it as a $300+ feature associated with sale of Pixel 9 phones last year?

Yeah.
